Most of this chapter is in a dream. I'm sure it's not too long... Enjoy!
Chapter 11
I stood outside of my old home. It wasn't destroyed at all. It was the way it usually looked when I came home from school. Mom was standing outside, smiling at me. I grinned back and began to ran towards her.
FLASH!
My home was nothing but a pile of rubble in an instant. My mother was no longer standing. She was on the ground in an odd position. her legs were twisted the wrong way and blood poured out of her eyes. Her mouth was open in a silent scream. Horrified I ran towards her, but I was snatched up by someone and lifted into the air. I looked up.
Rex!
Suddenly I wasn't in my body anymore and I floated, frozen in the air, watching Rex take away my body. I screamed for him to come back. I fougth as hard as I could to get out of the ice.
He didn't look back.
Tears streamed down my face as I was rushed into a black doorway levatating in the sky. The invisible force dropped me and I landed on my side in the black room. I whirled around and around, looking for a way out. There!
I ran towards the way I came but it kept getting farther away from me. The slammed closed and I was left in the dark.
"What are you doing here?"
I franaticlly looked up and around to find the source of the voice. No use. It is coming from nowhere yet everywhere at once.
"To help. I could sense her distress all the way in Abysus."
"Calm down, chief. He's here ta her her not hurt her."
The voices faded away, leaving me to try and figure out how to get out of here. Then I felt myself being pulled into the ground. I yeled and screamed Rex's name, making myself believe that he will come back.
I fell and landed in the darkened Providence hallway. I stood up and looked around. Everything was in place. I walked down the hall, still shaking with fear. I reached our room. I ran inside to find no one. The room was a total wreck. a blanket was hanging from the ceiling, pillows were all over the place, clothes were in all the wrong places.
I stepped out of our room quickly, getting a very very bad vibe from it. I looked in Six's room. He wasn't in his room. I paused.
Holiday's lab!
I raced of towards the lab and burst in. Rex, Holiday, Six adn Bobo were all standing around an examination table. I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out.
I approached them all. I looked at Rex. He was trying to supress sobs. Six had an unusually sad expression on his face. Bobo had his head bowed, as if to be praying. Holiday was wiping away stray tears. I looked at the table. There was something underneath the white sheet. I slowly pulled it off.
There I was, lying on the table. I was paler and thinner. I tilted my head. I appeared to be asleep. I lifted an eyelid.
A glassy brown eye stared up at me. There was no twitching or flinching from my touch. There was no life in those eyes.
I was dead.
I fell on my back, terrified out of my mind. I flipped over and half crawled for the door. The door didn't open. I pounded on it, wanting to get out so badly. Then I saw Rex turn around.
Tears steaked down his face as he looked directly at me. His eyes were cracked and blood shot. Then the tears were no longer tears.
They were droplets of blood. The red trail made it's way down his face as he closed his eyes.
I turned around and pounded on the door even harder. I was pulled away from it. My feet skidded across the hard white floor as I was drawn towards my corpse. My arms were pinned to my side and I fell to the ground, still being dragged. I looked up at what I was being drawn towards.
My body was no longer there. In its place was a black hole. I prayed to God for my own safety as I was pulled into the darkness.
At first it was quiet. I stood up and looked around. Nothing but black.
Then the tortured screams and pleas came. They spoke no words. Just yelled in agony and loneliness. I felt to my knees. I felt myself wanting to scream along with the unseen people too...
My cross necklace floated up into the air and off my neck. It began to glow a golden color. the light got bigger and bigger until there was only a llittle blackness left. Then it rushed at me and swallowed me up in a golden river of light.
Then all went white.
...
I opened my eyes. At first it was all white and I couldn't see. But my vision cleared. I looked around. I sat up painfully and felt blood rush outta my head. There were some moniters hooked up to me. I instinctively pullled them all out and stood up.
I wasn't in the clothes I remember being in. I was in a white hospital gown. I looked around and spotted a mirror and walked over to it. I looked sick but I felt better than I looked.
"I'm glad you're up again, Eva."
I looked up to see Six standing by the door. I smiled and hugged him. I could feel him tense up but relax and put a reassuring hand on my back. Just being able to know that he was there and not some illusion comforted me.
The door went flying open and I spun around to see who it was. Rex, Bobo and Holdiay came running in.
I stood, bewildered. Rex just ran up to me and gave me a tight hug. I stood a moment in shock and returned the hug. After a minute of standing there, He finally let go.
"Okay, someone explain to me what happened?" I asked everyone in a husky tone.
"Well, you got real sick and went into a coma and-" Rex started.
"I think I better explain this. Eva, you caught a disease that somehow went EVO and took over your body. There was nothing I could do for you until Van Kliess came to help." So that was the conversation that I heard in my dream.
"Van Kliess?" I exclaimed.
"Yes. He said the problem would spread if left unchecked."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Was he with the Pack?"
"Surprisingly no. At least not that we know of." Six answered
"Weird...but what did he do to help me?"
"He used my nanites to save you!" Rex cut in.
"After that ya were out fur a week." Bobo cut Rex off. "So what were you dreaming about, sleeping beauty?"
I told all of them the exact recollection of my dream. Rex sat, amazed, as I told him about thetwo parts involving him and my own death.
"Well, you did flat-line at one point...you were in critical condition." Holiday said from the moniters.
"That's enough for today. You need to rest." Six said.
I nodded in agreement and went with Rex back to our room.
There is a very fine line between life and death...
I hope I did good with this chap! What do you think of it? Please review!
